Albeit still under construction, Legacy Central is already proving to be a new standard in corporate culture.

Legacy Central is made up of refurbished buildings from Texas Instruments’ old Plano campus. The buildings were first purchased by Regent Properties in 2016. They have since been repainted and renovated to add modern touches throughout.
